Let's stay together forever - Patricia Basson - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello again to another Dusty Attic Moodboard project.

I found the Browns and Natural colors a pleasure to work with! And I had this perfect photo of me and Hubby to use on my page.

I used papers and cut-outs from 49 & Market, Journal Card and Airy from the Vintage Artistry Essentials Collection.

After I gesso'd the Chipboard, I painted all but the Gnome with a mixture of White Crackle Paste, Ivory Acrylic Paint from Stamperia and Sicak Yulaf from Cadence. I did not add a thick layer, only on the Hearts of the Frame set, therefor the crackle effect is very subtle in most places. It does show up nicely on the background where I used it through the Bedazzled Stencil.

I painted the trees with some Soft Suede from Deco Art and the Branches with Cinnamon Brown paint mixed with some Tiger Eye Color Glow from 13 Arts. I also used a paintbrush to flick some diluted gel medium on the trees and used Perissa Embossing Powder from WOW on it. It gives the effect of Sunshine speckles peeping through the leaves ...

On the close-ups you can see the thicker Crackle paste effect. I glued some of the Heart attack Border hearts on the big Hearts and sprayed them with Lindy's Stampgang Moon Shadow mist, Jolly Roger Red.

The cute little Gnome was painted with Soft Suede DecoArt Paint and parts with some of the Lindy's Spray. I also embossed with the WOW embossing Powder and double embossed the Beard with Vintage Beeswax Embossing from Emerald Greek. I'm just loving the rough texture this achieved.

On the Ivy Flourish I added some more highlight with Cinnamon Brown paint on top of the initial paints. Here I also embossed with the Perissa Embossing Powder. 

I added a little piece of Anglaise Lace and a few small papery flowers as in the Moodboard. 

Some Hand stitching, leaves and half Pearls on the punched edges add to the details of this page.

I hope I might have inspired you to try your hand at the Moodboard this month.

What is love?...

There is a strong wall about me to protect me:

It is built of the words you have said to me.

There are swords about me to keep me safe:

They are the kisses of your lips.

Before me goes a shield to guard me from harm:

It is the shadow of your arms between me and danger.

DISCOVER new places - Rikki G - Mood Board Inspiration

 Good morning how are you all? I am here today with another layout inspired by this months moodboard. How are you going with your entries?

 I have to say this moodboard isn't my usual go to and it really got me out out of my comfort zone but the positive is that I had to go into my left over collections, you know those bits and pieces that just get shoved back into the stash for 'one day'....

By doing moodboards it gives you the opportunity to go into different collections and blend them together. And all you need is a little Dusty Attic Chipboard to tie them together.

Chop up your larger paneled chipboard, this will make your stash go further.

Layer, layer and layer your chipboard, make it look like its floating.

I hope you to see you add your entries to the this months moodboard, you still have few days to enter. 

Till next time have a creative day

Graduation - Rikki G - Mood Board Inspiration

Good morning how are you? I am here with my take on the NEW Dusty Attic Moodboard challenge !!!!

This one I have to say got me really thinking and hunting through my stash of papers, luckily I was able to bend a few paper collections together and come up with a very dimensional layout.

To start off its all about getting a base layer to work up and over the top with your photos and papers... this is where the larger cog frame sets come into there own.

Now its about building up the height in the photo, using the left over negative chipboard with a bit of glue will help give you a supportive base. I did three layers to achieve the height that I needed.

Next is to add your pattern paper over the top of your photos and also use some flowers to add to the height and bulk out your pattern paper flowers - this works especially well when you only have bits and pieces left over.

The grid chipboard is a great way to show your underlayers plus it allows your art stones to catch with your glitter in clusters.

Add chains and the mini additions all over your layers.

The Heart Attack boarder is great to chop up into smaller pieces and scatter around your layout like confetti.

I hope this inspires you to play with different heights in your layouts. 

Till next time have a creative day.
